Roots Gone Crazy - Just transplanted...Do I need to do it again ?

Hey guys...I just transplanted my plant from a party cup to a 2 gallon pot 5 days ago....

The new 2 gallon pot had 5 drainage holes in the bottom...One in the middle, and 4 around the edges...The drainage holes seem rather large...Somewhere's between the size of a nickel and a quarter.

Well, I just looked at the plant and all the drainage holes have roots starting to stick out of them....My drainage pan is one of those aluminum turkey bake pans with decorative river stones on the bottom....

Is this normal for roots to grow this fast and do this ?

Should I leave it , or do I have to transplant again already ?

This plant seems to be doing very well...When I transplanted at 2 and 1/2 weeks the roots had really filled the party cup good...I don't want to screw it up....thanks

First would like to say i dont do dirt. Pics help tons.
Doubt you have to transplant it again already. The root prob just took the route with lest resistance and it led to the hole. I dont think the roots would of filled that already. Never hurts to get a bigger pot tho just makes bigger plant.

I am wondering if I have a freak of nature on my hands...I mean I just transplanted the thing...Each drainage hole I could see had at least 2 or 3 roots pooping out of it as well...Everywhere I have researched it says to transplant when this happens.....
